Also, does XI2 support keyboards with more than 256 keys?

I hope so. As far as I observed (I may be wrong) there are two ways to overcome silly limitations, adding extensions and bumping the version to X12: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/X12 . I hope I live to see this second option used also.

More than 256 keys!? Just for curiosity, do those exist?

I have keyboard with less than 256 keys but some keys produce keycodes bigger than value 256, so xi2 is the only sane (remapping is instane) way to handle them.

Yes, they do exist.
However, the common problem is that a lot of quite common keyboards have additional keys which emit keycodes>256.
